Business Development & Engagement Manager

IMAGINE is a global leadership community for impact, running curated programmes, including the Oxford Accelerator, for a network of senior leaders across six continents. This is a broad commercial role at the intersection of relationship development, community stewardship and sustainable growth, reporting to our Director of Community & Membership.

You will own the full commercial funnel, from nomination and prospect through application, acceptance, onboarding and renewal, with clear visibility into conversion rates and network health. You will act as the strategic relationship lead for a portfolio of IMAGINE Leaders, treating renewal as a natural continuation of the relationship rather than a separate sales event.

Growth comes through leader nominations, our Salons and global impact events, inbound interest from LinkedIn and Instagram, and strategic outreach. Alongside that you will curate nominations for leadership calibre and ecosystem fit, make strategic introductions across the community, and keep HubSpot records rigorous enough to support commercial forecasting and reporting.

Travel is judgement-based rather than constant: global impact conferences such as New York Climate Week, Davos, COP and ChangeNOW, plus a selection of the five to ten IMAGINE Salons hosted each year in the homes of our Leaders.

We are looking for a genuine go-getter with five or more years in business development, partnerships, commercial or membership roles, real CRM discipline, strong emotional intelligence, and the credibility to build rapport with senior leaders.
